Post-Christmas hangover for reindeer. A sense of deflation after the festivities. A Happy Fence Friday to all. I hope your day and your weekend are pleasant. Commiserations to all those who have had to return to work after the holidays (and to those who worked all through the holidays, too).

May I wish a Happy Fence Friday to everyone. I hope your day and your weekend are spectacularly delightful. This fence is preventing the VW Kombi from wreaking havoc on the foreshore and frightening the swans and their cygnets. (Actually, the Kombi is part of the Christmas decorations which are being erected by the Shire in Mandurah at the moment.)

I've heard of posting early for Christmas, but this is a bit extreme even for Australians ... Taken this morning, 4th November!

Santa's on his way ...

Reindeer Report Chimneys: colder. 
Flightpaths: busier. 
Driver: Christmas (F) 
Still baffled by postcodes. 
Children: more 
And stay up later. 
Presents: heavier. 
Pay: frozen. 
Mission in spite 
Of all this 
Accomplished –
 MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Poem written by U.A. Fanthorpe)

On Christmas morning Santa retires to bed for a hard-earned rest and waves goodbye to the world for another year. Quite what the snowman is doing here in Western Australia is anybody's guess, although it was a cold 16°C when this was taken at 7a.m. ... Maybe he was just being hopeful.
